I’m traveling all around Europe this summer, but I have no clue how to estimate times on the train going from place to place. I need to know for booking hostels, etc. Is there someplace on the Eurorail site I can find this, or does anyone else know? Gracias.

More exactly, www.db.de/en Smile…. same site, one less click
 
But yes… trust me (and Seva) this is an absolutely essential website for your trip planning. Before these guys told me about it, I felt completely in the dark, but now all you have to do is type in the name of a city/station for departure/destination and presto! Instant itinerary. Train timetables are set up so far in advance that you will be able to know not only the route, but how many transfers you need, the travel time, AND the numbers of the trains too.
 
And in case you were wondering, it’s basically for all of Europe as far as I can tell, NOT just Germany Smile

Yes, DB timetable includes almost all trains in Europe, except for (may be) some private railways, not connected to main lines, as well as local public transport in a number of regions, and door-to-door directions (at least) in Germany.

By the way, Feicht, did you by any chance try to click on / mouse over the link I’ve made in my first post? [Smile]
